Define Distribution Functions

In this menu option you define the distribution function. You specify what percentage of the capacity should be used after what percent of the operation's duration.

Example

• Equal distribution function

       Percent duration:  20  40  60  80  100

       Percent load:      20  40  60  80  100

• Strategy: Point in time

Dispatch 20% of the capacity requirements after 20% of the operation's duration (20% at this point in time), another 20% of the capacity requirements after 40% of the operation's duration, etc.

• Strategy: Function

Continuous requirements distribution equally over the whole duration of the operation. You can achieve the same effect if you enter the value "100" for both the percentage duration and the percentage load.

• Distribution with the maximum at the end

First the capacity requirements rise only slightly, then rise sharply and level off at the end.

   Percent duration:   20  40  60  80  100

   Percent load:       10  20  40  90  100
